She received her undergraduate degree in Marketing from the University of Notre Dame, where she was also a part of the Women’s Boxing team, and her MBA from Western Governors University.
Madeline is coming to us from a career in education, working as the head of the Business Department at Bishop Hartley High School in Columbus.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time outside with her husband and toddler son, as well as hiking and reading.

Muchas Gracias Dominican Republic!!! 🇩🇴 I had the most amazing time last week learning the cuisine in the Dominican Republic! But as you all know, food is an experience and an ethnic cuisine takes you on a journey to its culture. So of course I had to get the full experience 😜This is some of the many highlights of my adventures: tasting all the delicious food, drinking Mamajuana, making friends with the locals, speak broken Spanish, partaking in their traditional fiestas, salsa dancing the night away, watching the live performances, snorkeling in the Caribbean Sea, tanning by the pool and chilling on the beach😎 It was my first time there but definitely not my last!! The DR stole my heart❤️🇩🇴❤️🇩🇴 I’m feeling more refreshed then ever and so excited to cook this new cuisine for my clients🤩•

Meal prepped this salad for the week✅ It’s so fresh and healthy and has no lettuce so it doesn’t get soggy after adding dressing to it. It has chickpeas and lentils, great sources of protein. Bell peppers, beets, cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, veggies that are packed with nutritious benefits. Basil, parsley, and mint for that fresh bust of flavor and aids in digestion and is used as an anti-inflammatory. Finish it off with a lemon tahini creamy dressing for your healthy fats, and antioxidants to get your immunity at its best during the change of seasons. 🌸 •

Meatless Monday Meal! This is an easy meal which consists of mostly veggies. I used onions, bell peppers, purple cabbage, edamame, but you can use any leftover veggies in your fridge. Sautéed up the veggies and add a can of chickpeas, and a jar of Indian Tikka Marsala sauces and heat until warm. Serve it over jasmine rice with some salted cashews, sliced up green onions and purple cabbage “confetti” just for fun🥳•

2–3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning*
salt and pepper, to taste
Wash potatoes. Toss it all together. Wrap potatoes up in foil in a single layer, and grill over medium heat for 20 minutes or until potatoes can be pierced with a fork for desired doneness.
